“Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: Let all that be round about him Bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.”
Psalm 76:10-11 KJV
A psalm of Asaph, “You have power to transform man’s futile anger into praise. The fury of Your enemies only causes Your fame to increase. So you’d better keep every promise you’ve ever made to the Awesome One, Yahweh! Let all people bring their extravagant gifts to Him alone.” A tremendous example of this is how the Lord Jesus transformed Saul to Paul, changing the wrath of man into praise, on the road to Damascus! Before the glory of God and in the light of His revelation, man’s futile anger is nothing. This Pharisee Saul was in the process of persecuting and arresting Christians in painful ways when he himself was arrested and transformed. God’s ways are beyond our understanding - obedience to God’s Word and under the leadership of the Holy Spirit is the only way for the extension of Christ’s Kingdom. Surely the time is coming when every knee shall bow before Christ and every tongue confess His Lordship, every nation, every people group, governments and authorities, will know Him as King of kings and Lord of lords. God’s promise to us is, “I have sworn by Myself, the Word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” If we have promised to follow Him, we better keep our vow to Him with all our heart. Amen!
